Comment:I started taking azurette about 10 months ago. I had, for the most part, been pleased with the it. I had minor issues when I first went on it, including headaches and spotting between periods and a touch of acne. All that for the went away after the first month or two, however I have had very little consistency as to when my period starts each month. And unfortunately, just recently my periods have been painful and my acne has flared up terribly! The acne flared up right before my last period and usually clears within a few day but it has only gotten worse (this has been an increasing problem for three weeks now). has anyone else expirienced this? I am seriously considering switching to another pill, I just don't want things to get worse if I do chose to switch.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I tried taking Azurette after stopping Seasonale, which wrecked my libido. It's been a little over two weeks on Azurette, and I feel like an emotional wreck- I experience irritation and rage several times a day, as well as feelings of sadness and depression. I am fatigued, and my skin looks worse than it has in years. I am done with this pill as of today.

Comment: My first pill was Lutera, and this pill caused me to have major mood swings. I took a break from the pill and my doctor switched me to Azurette, and I have not been more pleased. I had no mood swings, no weight gain, really I had no side effects. I'm very happy with this birth control.

Comment: Wow. I thought that I was just loosing it but the more I read the more I'm convinced that my recent sadness and mood swings are a result of this pill. I've only been taking it for a bout a month but I've started to feel nausea and just sad for no reason at all. I couldn't figure out why but I think this might be it.
